Passions on the Beach

Wanted a beach dining experience and were staying nearby so our large group (26) gave Passions a try for the first time. We were very pleased and impressed. Great food with an extensive menu and impeccable service. Finally, the setting is stunning; right on the beach. This restaurant will be an annual repeat. Only minor inconvenience was that the toilets are across the street but this is not terribly problematic.

My daughter and I had dinner here last week. We were so disappointed. I read many of the reviews before I made the decision to dine here and they were mixed, so I decieded to try it.
My daughter had a $60 12oz lobster tail that was OVERPRICED and soggy. I was shocked when I got the bill because it did say market price, but I never thought that pricey! Over all the food was below average at best.

I love the beach atmosphere and while it was on the beach, it is nothing like the ambience and romance of other beach dining.
The only nice thing about this resturant was the singer. He was really good. Would not recommend and would NEVER go back.

We visited Aruba in January 2009 for our annual trip. Decided to try Passions and we are glad we did - excellent food and service. Can't beat the setting as well. Two thumbs way up!

We visited Passions in January, based on the online reviews. Needless to say, we did not enjoy our experience. The food was below average and the service was not impressive at all. The setting was nice, but face it - that's what your getting with this restaurant.

My boyfriend and I took a life changing trip to Aruba in December 2008!
Our first night there we had dinner at Passions where he proposed!
Passions was the absolute perfect place for our proposal! The food, the staff
and the location were all AMAZING!
Thank you for making this special moment unforgettable for us! We loved
Aruba so much that we are currently planning our 2010 destination wedding IN ARUBA!

We had a great experience dining at Passions during our recent vacation in Aruba. My wife and I had her parents vacationing with us and we thought Passions would be a nice change for them. They are still telling their friends that have time shares in Aruba how special their experience was. How great is it when we get to dance on the beach (while at home in Boston the snow is falling!)? We also have recommended Passions to our friends who will be visiting Aruba in the near future. Just the other day, I was telling one of my clients about Passions as they will be honeymooning in Aruba in April! It seems that all of Amsterdam Mannor has stepped it up a notch, and it shows. See you all in 2010.

We made reservations on line which was very easy...and requested to be as close to the water as possible. I'm so glad we did, and made the reservation in time to see the spectacular sunset. The service was great, very friendly staff and the food was delicious. For beach front dining, I would go back for sure, and now we don't have to drive to the other end of the island!

My wife and I celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary at Passions. What a nice time. We made our reservations on line before our trip. Our table was ready when we arrived in time for the sunset. We both had fresh seafood which was wonderful in taste and presentation. We ordered the desert for two which was also a special treat. Service was prompt, but not rushed, which was good as we were in no hurry. The live entertainment was also very special. I would recommend Passions to anyone traveling to the Island for on the beach dining.

Matt and I ate at Passions on Jan. 8th. We got there right before sunset and everything was beautiful. It became even more beautiful at sunset. It was incredible! Everything was perfect. The setting, food, entertainment etc.
Fantastic place! I have already recommended it to several people who are going to Aruba in the next few months! Only complaint... the bathroom is across the street and through the hotel!!

We had a great time at Passions on the beach. The atmosphere was beautiful and our server was great and very attentive. The food was excellent, however my dish was a bit different, which isn't bad, as the shrimp was very fresh and the sauce was tasty (Carribean Shrimp). All other meals and appetizers were excellent. Our desserts were great and the wine list was not priced over the top. Overall a great time and great meal. The piano singer tried very hard, but with his accent, some of his songs were a stretch for him and made us laugh.
